I have onions planted in basic potting soil from a big box shop. I added some pellet fertilizer. I know onions are heavy feeders. Should I also give them a water soluble fertilizer?

Today I planted 10 gladiolus bulbs that will bloom in mid-summer.

Tara,I love to grow onions! Pull them up and wash them while my skillet of cornbread is in the oven!
Sara, I love Gladiolus ! I had them, all colors thanks to my neighbor! when I was a young wife and mother in the city. I thought they only grew in hothouses untill I saw them growing out of the ground at my neighbors. She got so tickled at me thinking that. She said, They grow in the dirt either place! I was only 20 years old! Here in the country, I gave up,the moles ate them year after year! I may try again! Connie Sue

Connie I read somewhere that if you plant garlic with your bulbs the moles will leave them alone.
